“Compounded hormones reduce menopausal pain”

After menopause, I found I had chronic vaginal pain. It was so bad that I was constantly aware of it and it interfered with my concentration. My physician offered me Premarin, the standard hormone treatment, but that caused chronic indigestion and gas pains that were even worse. Finally, I achieved complete relief with compounded estriol cream. I don't want to be without compounded hormones since they seem to be the only treatments that my body can tolerate. My ENT surgeon prescribed me progesterone to help improve the muscles of my throat and tongue so that I could swallow better and have less obstruction to breathing. I was unable to tolerate a face mask so CPAP was unable to help me. But progesterone compounded was easy to take (unlike CPAP) and improved my ability to sleep.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
